Holiday Inn Resort Kissimmee by the Parks

Kissimmee, Orlando

Star rating

The hotel

For great value, family-friendly accommodation within a stone's throw of Walt Disney World, look no further than the recently remodelled Holiday Inn Resort Kissimmee by the Parks – showing that you don’t necessarily need to book an on-site hotel to be in the heart of the action. The hotel includes a complimentary shuttle service to Walt Disney World (the short trip that it is!) as well as Universal Studios and even the Lake Buena Vista outlets when you want a break from the thrills and spills. Start your day with the fabulous waffles that are on offer at the H Street Grille buffet breakfast, grab a Starbucks from the lobby, and you’ll be all set for wherever you’re heading. There’s no need to leave if you don’t want to though, chill by the pool or let the little ones roam in the indoor play area – you’ll find it hard to tear them away! If it’s the older ones that are looking for some action, book a session at the Topgolf swing suites, you don’t need to be a golf fan to enjoy yourself here, there’s no experience required!
